Sump Pumps Drain 
Problem Wet Areas
Ralph E. Engel, Research Professor 
in Turfgrass Management, Cook 
College, Rutgers University, N.J.

At the Picatinny Arsenal Golf Course, 
Dover, N.J., a severe drainage problem 
existed on two holes and desperately 
needed correction. A high water table 
existed. Also, surface runoff water col­
lected on two fairways and would not 
percolate thru the organic soil. In fact, 
the area became so wet it was impossi­
ble to carry out fairway mowing on 
many occasions. Greens Chairman 
Frank Ferry, Superintendent Michael 
George and Engineer John Klusick 
went to work on a solution.

On the 13th Fairway, a hole was dug 
for a 50-gallon drum. Holes were made 
in the side of the drum and crushed 
stone placed around the outside of it.

Direct burial cable was snaked 
through existing drain pipe from a 
110-volt electric meter covered duplex 
outlet. An electric sump pump was 
installed in the drum casing with the 
2-inch discharge plastic pipe connected 
to the existing 6-inch drain pipe which 
emptied into a brook. (See Figure 1 )

Compatibility of Chemicals

Paul Sartoretto, Head Research Chemist 
and Vice President, W.A. Cleary Corporation

Fall 1976

Often in the past, 
mixing of turfgrass 
chemicals has been 
dismissed because its 
value in time saving 
was not considered 
as important as the 
risks involved.

This should not happen without con­
sidering all the advantages. Tank mix­
ing chemicals to achieve broad spec­
trum control or, in some cases, synergi­
stic action is one of the real opportuni­
ties for the golf course or other turfg­
rass superintendent to test his know­
how.

Since very few chemical firms will 
stipulate which competitive chemicals 
are compatible with their products, the 
superintendent and applied-research 
person must learn by experience and 
experimentation what products can be 
tank mixed.

There are a few rules and guidelines 
that a superintendent can follow which

will make him sufficiently knowledgea­
ble to tank mix his chemicals without 
the fear of encountering phytotoxicity.

CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES

The chemical nature of the pesti­
cides is important but not necessarily 
the determining factor. Some of the 
general warnings on chemistry applica­
ble to mixtures are:

• Do not mix alkaline and acidic 
materials. Violent reactions occur when 
concentrated forms of these types are 
mixed, but the reaction can be insigni­
ficant if they are mixed in diluted form 
in the spray tank.

• Great chance of failure or prob­
lems exist when mixing chemicals that 
are strongly acid or alkaline, such as 
ammonium sulfate, ferrous sulfate, 
nitrate, sulfur, lime and chlordane.

• Soluble fertilizers may have a 

salting-out effect on herbicides.

•Do not mix wettable powder pes­
ticides with emulsifiable formulations 
or a soluble fertilizer. A very good rule 
to follow is never premix the concen­
trated chemicals. Add them singly to 
the tank at high dilutions.

Chemically, all pesticides can be 
divided into three classes: nonionics 
(no charges), cationics (positive 
charges), anionics (negative charges). It 
is a basic simple fact that all positive 
charges attract all negative charges, 
and that if a compound has no charges 
it has no attractions. The only affinities 
that the nonions have are their abilities 
to mingle with solvents of similar 
nature and not mingle with solvents of 
dissimilar nature.

Water is the superintendent’s 
primary solvent. With respect to water, 
nonions are further subclassified into 
hydrophyllic (water loving) and 
hydrophobic (water hating). The 
former are water soluble, and the latter 
are water insoluble.

Comments and Opinions

WHY THE RECENT CAMPAIGNS AGAINST 
SOME TURFGRASS PESTICIDES?

ARE YOU SATISFIED 
WITH YOUR IRRIGATION?

Recent articles on dangers of pesticides have frightened the public and some 
users. Cancer is the major bogeyman. This dreadful disease deserves a fearful 
reputation, but useful pesticides like any other facet of our way of existence 
should not be “junked” without worthwhile reasons.

For those who are concerned about pesticides and cancer some of the 
following which has been summarized from the Council for Agricultural Science 
and Technology commentaries should be of interest.

Death from cancer has increased some in the United States. Yet this increase 
must be tempered somewhat by the fact that age distribution has shifted toward 
older people who have always had a higher incidence of cancer.

Part of the increase results from more people dying from lung cancer. You 

already know of the association of smoking and lung cancer.

Cancer mortality shows a high rate in urban-industrial areas. (Read on, 
please.) The World Health Organization estimates that 85 to 90 percent of the 
human cancers in industrialized countries are of unknown origin. The nature of 
the bulk of cancer cases has not changed with industrialization. The cancer that 
killed our grandparents before industrialization still remains the major threat.

Stomach cancer rates have decreased significantly while cancers in other 
sites have increased. The incidence of liver cancer death decreased from 8.8 to 5.6 
per 100,000 for 1930 and 1972, respectively. During this period the organochlor- 
ine insecticides were introduced. The number of older people in the population 
increased during this period which is a factor for a higher incidence.

Many chemicals have been or are being banned because they become 
suspect with vast dosages on test animals. In many of these cases, the creature 
would require hundreds of years to ingest the test dosages from the environment.
While the vast and abrupt dosages may cause tumors in the test animal, it is 
unsound biological thinking to conclude that it happens in humans. Also, tumors 
are not cancers.

We must respect chemicals in our environment, but action taken against a 
useful chemical should not be based on extrapolation. In most cases, more 
information on the chemicals’ effect on humans should be gathered.

What is the basis for the impending loss of chlordane when studies have 
shown that humans, exposed to much larger quantities of chlordane in 
manufacturing plants than the rest of the population, have shown no evidence of 
more cancer or chlordane associated medical problems?

Or what is the logic to the proposed banning of amine type herbicides, which 
are not used in large quantity, because of fear of nitrosamines that develop 
commonly from more natural sources?

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
From the Wall Street Journal comes 
this interesting exchange between 
biller and bill payer:

At the request of a state heart asso­
ciation, an eastern utility included with 
its bill a leaflet entitled, “How to Tell 
You’re Having a Heart Attack.” A 
physician attached the following note 
with his bill for $158.76: “The juxtapo­
sition of the booklet and your monthly 
bill is admirable. I would, however, 
suggest if some way could be devised 
to have the customer read the booklet 
before the bill, many more lives could 
be saved.”

Our New 'Flag

Surely by now you will have 
noticed another improvement in 
your Green World — the redesigned 
“flag” at the top of the front page. 
Call it a heading if you want to, but 
in the publishing business it’s a 
“flag.” We hope you like it. Or even 
salute it.

The 1976 season has been a good 
turf year where watering was not a 
problem. If you were unable to water 
the grass as you would have liked, now 
is the time to make some changes or 
install a system.

The dry year helped inspire this 
suggestion but more than this, my 
attendance at the New Jersey Irriga­
tion Association’s field day impressed 
me with all the specialized equipment 
that has become available to help put 
water where it is needed.

There seems to be a head or control 
for about every occasion. Thus, by 
using this equipment or doing such 
things as relocating heads or improving 
the capacity of the system, you will 
have a better chance of watering the 
grass precisely as needed in dry periods 
which occur every year.

(Chemicals, from Page 1)

When cations and anions get 
together they form salts. As a rule, big, 
heavy salts are not water soluble, but 
smaller ones are. Thus, the salt index 
comes into play, and is of vital concern 
to the superintendent, as well as the 
cation exchange index of the soil.

RULES AS SAFEGUARDS

All of this technical information is 
becoming familiar to more and more 
superintendents. Yet, I would have 
been remiss by omitting it. But now 
that it has been reviewed, the superin­
tendent will be delighted to learn that 
pursuing this knowledge, although 
basic, is not a road block to prediction 
of chemical compatibility in use. While 
the chemistry is important and omin­
ous, the physical nature of the pesti­
cides is a good starting guide in con­
templating mixtures.

If mixing of chemicals causes a 
chemical reaction, fouling of the tank 
mix is likely to occur. I can cite a 
hypothetical case. If insecticide prepar­
ations are supplied as oil-soluble con­
centrates, to which have been added 
emulsifiers in the sulfonate and phos­
phate classes to render them emulsifia­
ble in water, they could be precipitated 
by cations in the tank. This would 
destroy the emulsion, resulting in oily 
layers of insecticide in the tank. Of 
course, this could cause disaster, but it 
should not happen with a trial tank 
mix. To guard against such an occur­
rence, we formulate our first rule:

RULE 1 — Never tank mix emulsifia­

ble insecticide concentrates.

While insecticides may not be in­
compatible in the mixture, they usually 
require watering in to get adequate 
control and to avoid phytotoxicity. 
This procedure can be incompatible 
with other chemicals that might be 
included.

I am not an insecticide chemist and 
do not wish to make recommendations. 
Consequently, 1 have taken a cautious 
approach to the allowable parameters 
of tank mixing insecticides with other 
chemicals. A number of superinten­
dents do tank mix them for a light 
surface treatment for control of 
surface-feeding insects as compared 
with grub-proofing treatments.

Use of fertilizers, fungicides, and 
herbicides is more familiar to me, and 
there are extremely helpful guidelines 
one can follow to overcome many 
compatibility problems. These three 
classes of chemicals fall into two simple 
categories, solubles and insolubles.

Three more rules can be formulated 
which the superintendent must ob­
serve.

RULE 2 — Mixing the insolubles 
(largest category). Most insolubles can 
be tank mixed without incurring 
phytotoxicity provided the products are 
sprayed at recommended rates of each 
of the individual products.

This permits the tank mixing of a 
great variety of chemicals. Most impor­
tant of all, it allows the superintendent 
to spray three, four, or more chemicals 
at the same time. Exploring the possi­
bilities should disclose many advan­
tages. Take disease control for exam­
ple. The superintendent who sensed 
that his greens were succumbing to a 
disease which he could not identify 
properly could put Daconil, Dyrene, 
Thiram, 3336, 1991, Captan, Maneb, 
etc., in a single spray. Of course, this is 
a ridiculous and preposterous example 
of the latitude, but to the superinten­
dent who lost his greens and his job for 
want of the proper fungicide, this 
knowledge would be welcome.

The point here is that broad spectrum 
disease control is a must on the greens. 
Only on occasional treatments can the 
superintendent rely on a single chemical 
to control a single target disease.

Growers, pathologists at various agri­
cultural colleges, manufacturers and I 
are attempting to obtain better control 
by mixing chemicals.

More recently, with the advent of 
systemic fungicides, the broad spec­
trum mixture has assumed brighter 
and newer horizons by combining the

longer residual control attainable with 
the addition of a systemic along with 
the action of contact fungicides.

Prior to the systemics, it was an 
accepted fact that contact fungicides 
did their job on the grass plant and 
were dissipated within two to three 
days. While the contact fungicide is 
sprayed on the grass blade at about 
1000 p.p.m., it doesn't take more than 
two to three days for the fungicide to 
be diluted below the effective level of 5 
p.p.m. with present-day irrigation and 
mowing.

This is not the case with systemics. 
Sufficient hydrolysis and activity takes 
place in the soil to knock down the 
fungus population not only in the soil 
but also within the grass blade by 
diffusion through the plant. This in­
creases the time of protection during 
extended periods of rain or long wee­
kends.

When mixing soluble chemicals (in­

cluding fungicides) apply Rule 3:

RULE 3 — Mix only one soluble 
chemical with any number of insolubles. 
If two soluble chemicals are tank mixed 
with or without insolubles the rate of 
each soluble should he cut in half to 
avoid phytotoxicity.

The soluble fungicides are not 
numerous: PMAS, Caloclor, Cadmin- 
ate, Caddy, and Actidione, and super­
intendents are familiar with them and 
have had experience in their applica­
tion. Coincidentally, three large manu­
facturers have packaged mixtures of 
solubles with insolubles.

Since fungicides differ in the stage of 
attack, and the fungus and fungicides 
differ in longevity, I have maintained 
that the ideal tank mix of fungicides is 
a three-way combination of soluble 
contact-insoluble contact-insoluble 
systemic mixture. And for years, I have 
even recommended mixing two soluble 
contacts each at half rate to get a 
broader spectrum than the single solu­
ble at full rate.

All of the insolubles can be tank 
mixed by applying Rules 2 and 3 in an 
attempt to get a broader spectrum of 
control. They can also be tank mixed 
with one of the solubles or one of the 
soluble-insoluble combinations. If the 
solubles and the soluble-insoluble 
combinations are tank mixed, the 
dosage should be cut in proportion to 
the number of chemicals added.

It should be emphasized again that 
the dosages of two solubles should be 
cut in half if tank mixed. If three 
solubles are tank mixed, the dosages 
should be cut to one-third the recom­

mended rate of each soluble compon­
ent.

Superintendents know that fertilizers 
are usually combinations of organic 
(insoluble) and inorganic (soluble) 
components, and because of the solu­
ble fractions the fertilizers must be 
watered in to prevent burning. It is not 
an uncommon practice to add soluble 
fertilizers to the spray tank in small 
quantities to attain an immediate 
greening effect on specific occasions. A 
more common practice is to add 
chelated iron for the same reason. But 
there have been many instances of 
burning because the superintendent 
has had a heavy hand in applying 
these products.

The phenomenon known as salt in­
dex comes into play in determining 
how much of the soluble fertilizer 
components can be added to the spray 
tank without incurring phytotoxicity. 
The author has formulated another 
simple rule which acts as a guideline to 
proper use without incurring the risk of 
burning the desirable grass:

RULE 4 — Soluble fertilizers and 
trace elements can be added individual­
ly or mixed provided that amount will 
not exceed one ounce per gallon tank 
spray mix.

This represents a dilution of 1:128.I 
have used 2 ounces per gallon, and 
have not experienced any burning at 
the higher rate, but prefer the lower 
rate. The components that fall into this 
category are solubles such as urea, 
ammonium nitrate, ammonium sul­
fate, and muriate of potash, ammon­
ium phosphate, ferrous sulfate, chelat­
ed iron, epsom salts, etc.

Herbicides also are both soluble and 
insoluble. The soluble herbicides are 
postemergent in nature whereas the 
insolubles are primarily pre-emergent 
in activity. The problem of phytotoxici­
ty is an important factor when dealing 
with soluble post-emergent herbicides. 
As a general rule, the phytotoxicity 
index (safety factor) is narrow for all 
postemergent chemicals. Yet, they 
have been used rather extensively and 
effectively, by following the rates of 
application closely.

The tank mixing of two or three 
soluble postemergent herbicides is 
becoming more and more prevalent. 
This practice is useful because the 
superintendent has found a synergistic 
effect with combinations; but in doing 
so he must again apply Rule 2 which 
states that whenever solubles are ad­
ded to the spray tank the dosage rate 
should be cut proportionately, depend­
ing upon the number of solubles. A

prime example is the successful com­
bination of MCPP,2,4-D and Dicamba. 
While the recommended rate of MCPP 
is 1 to l 1/2 lbs., the rate of 2,4-D is 1 lb. 
and the rate of Dicamba is a one- 
quarter to one-third lb. per acre, a 
successful combination of the three is 
commonly one-half lb. MCPP, plus 
one-quarter lb. 2,4-D, plus one-eighth 
lb. Dicamba. The superintendent can 
mix these or purchase them in approxi­
mately that ratio.

There are some MCPP plus 2,4-D 
combinations that call for the respec­
tive rates of 1 lb. and one-half lb. per 
acre. Some growers mix one-half lb.
2,4- D and one-fourth lb. Dicamba per 
acre. Another example of the synergis­
tic effect of two postemergent chemi­
cals is the combination of DSMA and
2.4- D.

In Texas where 2,4-D is not used 
prevalently because of its injury to 
cotton, DSMA is recommended for the 
control of dallisgrass at the rate of 12 
to 16 lbs. per acre on bermudagrass 
while in the neighboring state of Loui­
siana equally good control has been 
achieved by the use of 6 lbs. DSMA 
plus one-half lb. of 2,4-D.

This practice has been going on for 
over 10 years and, coincidentally, it 
conforms with Rule 3 which dictates 
that if two solubles are used together it 
is a wise practice to cut the dosage of 
each in half.

(Sump, from Page 1)

The water table is maintained app­
roximately 2 feet below the fairway 
from January thru December. The fair­
way became firm, providing mowing 
with the 7-gang equipment and gave a 
playable fairway.

A green plastic packing material was 
secured to the lid of the 50-gallon 
drum with adhesive to provide a nor­
mal bounce should a golf shot land 
here. The estimated cost of the project 
is less than $500.
On the 14th Fairway, a similar hole 
was dug for another 50-gallon perfor­
ated drum. Crushed stone was again 
placed around the outside of the drum 
casing. The area was regraded to the 
sump hole.

Electricity was not readily available.
A 4-inch irrigation line with a l1/2- 
inch plastic drain pipe was extended 
from the water pump to an existing 
drain pipe adjacent to the fairway and 
piped to the brook.

The system is used during the golf­
ing season, during rainy weather or if 
irrigation water runoff enters the sump 
hole.

The float is lifted by the water 
pressure activating the irrigation water 
through the ejection valve providing

suction to the drain pipe. As the sur­
face water in the sump is lowered, the 
float descends to the normal position 
shutting off the irrigation water and 
the water level is maintained approxi­
mately 2 feet below the grass area.

This installation also cost less than

$500. (See Figure 2).

While the golf course superinten­
dents and the greens committee were 
pleased with the success, the member­
ship was most happy because of the 
improved appearance and playability 
of these fairway areas.

Hit the fairways this fall with an 
application of this great new USS 
Vertagreen fertilizer and you're on 
your way to fewer turf problems 
next spring. This quality product 
is ideal for fall fairway fertilization 
because it has a high potash 
analysis... and that means less 
winter kill.

Potash works to toughen the 

grass, giving the turf healthy and 
hardy leaves that can better 
withstand the cold winter 
weather. Potash also helps your 
fairways resist disease problems 
such as dollar spot and brown 
spot. A soil test in the late 
summer or early fall will 
determine if your fairways lack 
this vital nutrient. And if they do, 
USS Vertagreen Fall Fairway 
Fertilizer is the answer because 
it's formulated with primary 
nutrients specifically for your 
area.

See your USS Vertagreen 

distributor and he'll show you 
how this great new product can 
winterize your fairways this fall. 
Next spring you'll be glad you did.

(Chemicals, from Page 4)

Finally, there are two classes of 
chemicals which are infrequently used 
by turfgrass superintendents, and by 
their very nature cannot or should not 
be tank mixed. They are nematocides, 
such as Dasanit and Nemagon, and 
general weed and grass killers such as 
Phytar, Paraquat, and Roundup.

One parting word of caution regard­
ing tank mixing. When the superinten­
dent embarks on the use of a new 
formula, he would be wise to do two 
things: Observe small volumes of tank 
mix for any signs of physical or chemi­
cal change, and repeat several trials on 
small areas where a bad result causes 
no problem. Note the results to deter­
mine what benefits the added chemical 
offers.

Tank mixing is challenging and very 
rewarding when the superintendent 
masters it.

Green Bug Aphid 
Attacks Ohio Lawns
Many lawns in Ohio are being at­
tacked by a new lawn pest. The insect 
has been identified as Schizaphis 
graminum (Rondani) or the green bug 
aphid. This is not the same aphid that 
attacks trees and shrubs.

Aphid damage on lawns in Ohio was 
reported as early as 1973, but cases 
were infrequent. In 1975 aphid 
damage was relatively common and 
there were numerous reports in 1976, 
especially in the Columbus and Day- 
ton areas.

The green bug aphid will feed both 
in shaded areas and in direct sunlight.

This aphid feeds on the grass blade by 
injecting a toxic substance into the 
plant and sucking out plant fluids. 
Populations of 20 or more per grass 
blade are not uncommon. Damage first 
appears as an under-fertilized or 
under-watered area turning to a dis­
tinctive brownish-orange cast. If left 
unchecked, large areas can turn totally 
brown and die.

At present there are no labeled in­
secticides for aphids on turf. Materials 
labeled for aphids on trees such as 
Diazinon and Malathion will control 
them.
